Reading Eisenhower, The White House Years.
What Nixon did was perfectly legal and very small beer.
IKE, who did not know him personally, was ready to dump him in a second if things had gone even a little wrong.
IKE rode a very high horse, morally, even in his memoirs.
But he was a crook (one count of serious tax fraud, at least), a hypocrite about that sort of thing and about women, and a bad-tempered dick.
Not a word in this book about why he wanted to be president.
Just the same old career ambition that had taken him so high in the army, I suppose.
